Are latex tubes faster?
Latex inner tubes are faster-rolling than the regular butyl tubes used by most riders and are much more supple. This enables them to absorb the bumps in the road and flex around them better. As a consequence, the tyre is kept on the ground more than being bumped into the air with a butyl tube.

How do I know what inner tube size I need?
Checking the Inner Tube Size You Need The best way to check what size inner tube you need is to look on the sidewall of your tyre. Tyre manufacturers print the size on the sidewalls, so look out for numbers such as ‘700x23c’ for a road bike, or ’26×1. 75′ which is for mountain bikes.
Do bike tubes need to be exact size?
While your diameter measurement needs to be exact, your width measurement does not. Because inner tubes stretch, they typically come in a range of widths. For example, one of our most popular tubes is the 26 x 1.75-2.125” which means it fits a 26-inch diameter tire with a width in the range of 1.75 to 2.125 inches.
